Douglas DC-3 (C-47) Wheels set Scale 1:48 ResKit RS48-0214 for Aircraft Model Kit

ResKit RS48-0214 is a 1/48 wheels set for the Douglas DC-3 (C-47), produced as 3D printed resin parts to provide sharper hub relief and a consistent tire profile for this classic twin-engine transport.

On DC-3 and C-47 builds the large main wheels remain a visible structural feature under the nacelles, so refined hub detail and clean sidewall definition help the aircraft sit more convincingly without altering the kit’s landing gear design (kit-dependent).

For modelers: test-fit the wheels to the kit axles and check gear-leg alignment before painting, then apply thin primer layers to preserve hub detail; clear paint from axle holes after priming to ensure the model rests level on both mains.

FAQ

Will this wheels set fit any 1/48 DC-3 or C-47 kit?

It is intended as a universal 1/48 accessory, but axle diameter and brake-detail layout can vary by kit manufacturer. Test-fit before painting and adjust mounting if required (kit-dependent).

How should I prepare 3D printed resin wheels before painting?

Wash the parts with mild detergent, allow them to dry completely, then apply a thin primer coat. This improves paint adhesion and highlights any remaining support marks.

How can I ensure the model sits evenly on the landing gear?

Dry-fit both main wheels on a flat surface before final glue. Cleaning primer from the axle openings helps the wheels seat fully and reduces unwanted tilt.
